Yes sorry, poor choice of wording from my side, that was the additional
logic I was hinting to.

For future reference, this bug was observed in the wild due to a
combination of recent systemd (>= v247) and kubernetes (= 1.25.0).
The on-host systemd behavior is on purpose, while the logic on
kubernetes side was not completely expected.
A bugfix for kubernetes is being assembled right now to avoid triggering
this case, see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112157.
But the same situation may crop up with other non-kubernetes runtimes,
if they try to blindly forward/merge the "search ." from the host
environment.

Ciao, Luca
